(Guys, sorry about the lateness of this, but once again I had to deal with an unreliable writer so I had to write this myself)
Here are the results of a GLCW house card that was held at the Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana in front of a rowdy overflow crowd:
JARED JUSTICE vs. ANGEL CASTILLO
This was Justice's debut match in GLCW, and he made the most of it taking on the cocky Castillo. Castillo started the match taunting Justice and trying to avoid his offense. This frustrated Justice but eventually he was able to catch Castillo and began doing some damage. After failed distraction by Sly Sterling, Justice got the win with the Hammer of Justice (flying double forearm) off the top rope after dazing Castillo with a stiff inverted atomic drop.
WINNER: Jared Justice at 8:47
MARTIAL LAW vs. THE SPIDER MURPHY EXPERIENCE
This was a double tag team debut. Martial Law is Ryan Youngblood and Steven Slayer, and the SME is Spider Murphy and "Bollywood" Rahul Seth. This was a fast paced match with lots of tags. The crowd got behind Martial Law solidly after plenty of dirty tactics and crowd taunting from Spider Murphy. After a while, the SME's double teaming took its toll, and while the ref was distracted, Murphy drilled Youngblood with a foreign object and Seth rolled him up for the win.
WINNERS: The Spider Murphy Experience at 6:59
NEMESIS vs. LARRY TACT
Another GLCW double debut, as two major talents put their skills on display in a show-stealing match. The crowd was very entertained with lots of tide changes and action in and out of the ring. The crowd gradually got solidly behind Nemesis, after it became apparent that he really had changed his ways. Tact cheated a little, but not a lot, as he really wanted to win his debut match on his own merits. After some wild exhausting action, Nemesis had Tact on the run and set him up for a superplex, but Tact fell down on him and got the three count.
WINNER: Larry Tact at 19:17
GOLEM vs, THE CANNONBALL KIDD
Cannonball Kidd does his "self-actualizing" shpiel before the match and Golem answered with the Claw as the crowd went wild. After the ref broke it up, a fast-paced match occured that went back and forth with both men refusing to stay down for the three count. Chain wrestling and wild counter-holds were used excessively, dazzling the crowd. At one point, Golem twisted his knee and went down hard and was not able to get up, and Kidd won the match with his amazing Crater Creator (450 frog splash) that garnered cheers from the crowd, even though he isn't very liked.
WINNER: The Cannonball Kidd at 10:35
JAROD POE vs. SEAN EDMUNDS
Edmunds came to the ring looking like death after his brutal "I Quit" match with Rabesque at Massive Assault, and Poe tried to capitalize on this. Edmunds had a big bandage on his head, and several bruises. Poe worked the bandage off and tried to attack the wound, but Edmunds was able to fend him off for the most part. The action went to the outside and Poe chased Edmunds around the ring. Edmunds kicked the ring steps at Poe and is able to roll into the ring and beat the 10 count. However, Poe is not. Poe got counted out and then chased Edmunds to the locker room.
WINNER: Sean Edmunds by Countout at 7:44
GRIDLOCK vs. "STUPENDOUS" STEPHEN MORGAN AND NIKOLAI ASH
Gridlock came into the match with huge heat from the crowd, as Sly Sterling pretty much worked up every person at ringside single-handedly with his constantly running mouth. After several minutes of stalling and psyching out, the match got started. When Morgan was in the ring, he did very well against both Raze and Nuke, but when Ash was tagged in, he seemed kind of flat and unmotivated. Morgan was only able to hold them off so long, and when Ash was tagged in at one point, he ate a thunderous superkick and then got hit with the Afterburn (Irish whip into bear hug/big boot from behind into sidewalk slam) for the victory.
WINNERS: Gridlock at 8:02
ANARKY vs. "SHOWTIME" STEVEN JAMES
This was Anarky's GLCW debut, and he was treated to a huge half face pop/half boos reaction when he came out. But after a while, they turned to all boos as Anarky insulted the crowd whenever he got a chance. James put up a good fight against Anarky early on, but he could not keep Anarky down as the veteran went to school showing very little rust in the process. Anarky hit the Chaos Breaker after a blocked suplex attempt to secure the win.
WINNER: Anarky at 7:26
NON-TITLE MATCH
GREAT LAKES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: MAELSTROM vs. TELEVISION CHAMPION: THE JOBBER
If the Jobber wins, he gets a shot at the Great Lakes Title at the next Riptide in Cleveland. The Hammond Civic Center went absolutely crazy for Maelstrom, and this may have fueled his already lethal mean streak. Maelstrom was still nursing wounds from the brutal Manson cage match at Massive Assault and may have been at a slight disadvantage. The Jobber did what he could to overcome the newly crowned champion, but Maelstrom's size and intensity were just too much. At one point, the TV Champion had Maelstrom down on the mat and ready to set up the step-over-toe-hold, but Maelstrom kicked Jobber right into the turnbuckles and as he rebounded, Maelstrom slapped on the Mortal Sin and the Jobber succumbed.
WINNER: Maelstrom at 11:05

GREAT LAKES TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
CHAMPIONS: KRAVEN AND FLATLINER vs. JEAN RABESQUE AND BRIAN LAWLER
This was a wild match that saw Rabesque bleed buckets after his bandages from the Edmunds "I Quit" match are lost. The Unholy Alliance both bled as well, thanks to Rabesque opening up gashes by hitting them with their own belts while Lawler distracted the ref. But it wasn't enough, as Lawler injured his leg after he was pushed off the ring apron by Kraven and landed awkwardly on the floor. He tries valiantly to get back into the match, but the hobbled leg proves to be his downfall as he takes the Devil's Drop powerbomb from Flatliner for the 3 count. After the match, the UA tried to double team Rabesque but Maelstrom ran out and makes the save. Both men exchanged an uneasy handshake after the UA left as the crowd cheered them on.
WINNERS: Kraven and Flatliner at 15:53
